I’m already on record about how much I despise Roy Lichtenstein<\/a>, so it would be redundant to repeat all that<\/a> today.<\/p>\n

But now, it seems, I have 50,000,000 more reasons.<\/p>\n

Over on Facebook, David Barsalou—who’s been cataloguing Lichtenstein’s sins<\/a> for many years—brought to my attention<\/a> that Lichtenstein’s appropriation of a Ted Galindo comic book panel is about to be offered by Sotheby’s<\/a> for $50,000,000.<\/p>\n

Yes, $50,000,000. I doubt Galindo even got $50 for drawing the panel that inspired it.<\/p>\n

That’s Galindo’s original occupying most of the image above, with Lichtenstein’s swipe inset. You can read more about Galindo’s history as a comic book artist here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It would have been nice to see a mention of Galindo in the ArtNet story<\/a> about that coming sale. But then, you know me—I believe every article about one of these Lichtenstein’s should include a reference to the source material, the same way I feel gallery operators and museum curators owe it to history to include those references in their literature and wall placards. They fail in their duties whenever they don’t. <\/p>\n

All artists deserve respect. And not just the ones whose works sell for $50,000,000.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
